A quick google search reveals that it was Sonny Pike.

Apparently he had a nervous breakdown because of the media attention. I guess that working with frank Skinner would do that to anyone.

WHERE IS SONNY PIKE?

Sonny Pike is currently living near the Scottish town of Dundee, and is studying psychology at Dundee University. He found the pressures of top-class football too much, and in 2003 decided to pursue a more regular caree - having been prive to sports psychologists he decided to follow that path. None the less, he still has a fervent passion for the game, playing Sunday league football for "Dryburgh Saints", as well as weekly 5-aside fixtures against other students, enjoying the, what he calls, "Fag at Half-time" culture. He is currently training for a Scottish F.A. coaching certificate, and as part of this, he coaches two Primary school teams in the area. Although he doesn't support a local team, he goes to matches regularly, purely for his love of the game.

Sonny says that he's much happier away from professional football. He is open that playing professional football was his childhood dream, but the pressure placed on him by his club, agents, sponsors and, to a lesser extent, the media made him suffer a nervous breakdown in October 2000, whilst still part of the Ajax youth squad:

"It couldn't take it, and I got ill, really screwed up. I stopped going to training and stuff, because I was so screwed up I couldn't hack it. Looking back, it's amazing how low I was. Ajax completely forgot about me, they didn't want to know, but as soon as I was better, they acted like they'd always been there for me. I realised how superficial it is at the level, and if I hadn't got back to form I bet they would have turfed me out. That's why I packed it in, it's so unstable.I guess it was during that period that I realised how much psychologists can help people, and I suppose I took it from there."

Sonny Pike says he is not currently considering playing professionally, but he says he is not ruling it out as a prospect for the future, especially at a lower lever. Before coming to University, he played some football in the English Conference. He does not keep any ties with Ajax.

Scotland are pretty weak too. I'd have Darren Fletcher and Barry Ferguson to make a British squad. Wales, probably Giggs and Bellamy to push for first team places.
I'd pick Gary Naysmith ahead of the two jocks you named.

@ Sonny Pike too.

Naysmith is a decent league player, but that's all. Fletcher is a class act in central midfield, and Ferguson has a habit of getting goals from midfield. I'm not completely sold on him, but we'll see how he does in the Premiership this season.

Those 'tinian youngsters can decieve you a bit, though. Aimar, Saviola and Riquelme haven't been the superstars people assumed they would be since coming to Europe. Good players, alright. Saviola is still very young, in saying that.
Palermo came with the same hype and now he is at Boca Juniors again. Barcelona apparently had a £20million bid for Luis Fabiano turned down in the summer. I would like to see what he does in Europe, since he is the man for Brazil and Santos.

And what makes you think you have first option? (You might be right but I have just never heard that before)

Palermo was kind of shit any time I saw him for Argentina too, which is the difference.

He missed 3 penalties in one game in the Copa America in 1999. Hilarious. Ronaldinho scored a wonder goal in the same competion when he was but a little nipper. I loved him after that.

Maybe in England they like living in a big room with bare white walls, but here in Missouri we like decorating our room so it isn't bland like you.

The sense in which I say it is that Moonax treats everyone from the United States as some stereotype he see's on TV and acts as if because he is from England he is the only one getting the "right" media fed to him.

I have nothing against England, I've visited on two occasions and have family there and I do plan on studying a year there. I also am not the American who is close minded and considers myself a patriot for hanging up a flag or any of that shit. I normally don't defend the United States on shit like this but it has become rediculous the way some people on these boards talk like they are god and we are shit by association, when it simply isn't true. Its like people don't even realize when they stereotype that bad, and I realize it happens both ways, and it should stop on both ways.

My apologies to anyone offended

Not everyone of course, but shitloads of people. It's one of the most common posters you see at student union things.

Oh I'm not denying that, its a sweet picture and a sweet poster so of course a lot of people have it, but for some reason Moonax thinks I should have bare white walls and is posting pictures of me after getting my wisdom teeth out and not having shaven in days. If somebody knows where he is going, please tell me.

Student Geek Chic. Just not my thing.

Because I take the piss out of you some how makes me anti-American? Well off the top of my head, I've suggested that Mackem is a rent boy who looks like Princess Anne and his mother is a prostitute, that Dazz is gay, do these things make me anti-English?

I'm taking the piss because I think you are a moron. I think that you are a cheerleader and blinded by the hype. Nothing to do with you being American.

It's pretty paranoid to think that I would laugh at you for being American. I laugh at you because you are stupid.
